DYM66HDYairi Honduran Dreadnought.
Key Features
- DYM66HDYairi Honduran Dreadnought
- In the small town of Kani, nestled in the hills north of Nagoya, Japan, lies the renowned K.
- Yairi guitar factory.
- They have been crafting guitars here for over 80 years.
- Alvarez and Yairi have enjoyed an uninterrupted 55-year partnership in producing exquisite guitars, made by hand, from naturally seasoned woods with an unwavering commitment to quality and design.
- Every neck is spoke shaved by hand, braces are carved, and tops are tuned to perfection.
- The attention to detail and quality of the build are impeccable.
- Kazuo Yairi and his loyal team of luthiers created an incredibly efficient and innovative workshop.
- Being able to work with such a lineage of master builders is very rare.
- Some of the luthiers have been at Yairi for over 50 years.
- Their skills and experience are shared with younger luthiers to form a multi-generational team who have chosen guitar building as their livelihood and dedicated their working lives to the craft.
- Our guitars are the result of the close collaboration between Alvarez & Yairia sharing of knowledge and an obsessional approach to excellence.
- 2024 is an exciting year as we introduce a new voicing and tonal response in our Honduran and Masterworks Series.
- This voicing is designed to widen the tonal palette, and to bring a more robust, clear bass response and a compelling openness to the guitar.
- We call our new bracing system FST6.
- It is similar in shape and placement to our previous FST2 system, but the braces are lighter in weight.
- In the quest to strike the perfect balance between strength and vibration, FST6 delivers with a heightened richness we found impossible not to embrace.
- Playing an instrument that instantly, almost intuitively reacts to your requests is a result we continually strive to achieve.
- We feel FST6 increases the connection with the player and responds effortlessly.
- 2024 also sees us launch new models and bring an array of new wood configurations to certain body shapes we have never made before.
- To our Honduran Series, we add an all-Mahogany 12th fret Parlor and a stunning non-cutaway Grand Auditorium.
- Masterworks expands its offering with a majestic mix of tonewoods.
- Californian Redwood, purchased by Mr. Yairi many decades ago, has been paired with East Indian Rosewood, and Premium Adirondack Spruce is now also available with Rosewood.
- Both parings help to create rare and inspirational instruments with new tonal horizons.
